Mark and I have both been exposed to their ignorance. I care less what they have to say, but sometimes respond just to stir the pot.
Mark is now here in Davao, and we are almost neighbors and soon to be in-laws (or outlaws, as the case may be!). I will marry the older sister of his fiancé. I think I got the better one, haha. Both are good Filipina women.
I'm just grateful that I escaped the devastation in Ormoc City. The house I rented there was destroyed, and they just restored the electricity in some parts of the city. Cellphones work there, but landlines are slow in restoration due to all the poles down. I left there one week before the Typhoon Yolanda hit, not aware of what was coming, but to come to be near my fiancé!
God is good. We are starting a pizza business here and after a couple of weeks are getting steady orders, even though we are not cheap. Filipinos love pizza and next week we are buying a deep-fat fryer to add Fried chicken and other things to the menu. I will become a millionaire or just be busy doing something to pay the bills. Either way is OK. My pension isn't big enough to live and accumulate enough to buy property, so that is why we started the biz!
Across the street from my new house is a busy beach which we hope will bring us lots of customers! The house is occupied by some Japanese guy who doesn't keep the yard, but we move there next month and that will change!
